OCTOBER 27
TODAY IN 1962, THE ROLLING STONES RECORDED THEIR FIRST DEMOS. THE LINEUP WAS MICK JAGGER, KEITH RICHARDS, BRIAN JONES, IAN STEWART, AND TONY CHAPMAN. DRUMMER CHARLIE WATTS HAD NOT YET DECIDED TO LEAVE HIS WELL-PAYING JOB AS AN ACCOUNTANT.
IN 1975, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WAS RIDING HIGH ON THE CRITICAL SUCCESS OF HIS LATEST ALBUM, “BORN TO RUN,” WHEN HE APPEARED ON THE COVERS OF BOTH NEWSWEEK AND TIME IN THE SAME WEEK.
AND IN 1979 LED ZEPPELIN WAS #1 ON THE ALBUM CHARTS FOR THE SEVENTH STRAIGHT WEEK WITH “IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR.”
